You're not getting downvoted for the LLM thing. You're getting downvoted for doubling down on a stupid argument. Em dashes -- and en dashes for that matter -- have legitimate uses in the English language. One symptom does not make a diagnosis. English is barely a respectable language in the first place. Dumbing it down even further to satisfy your preconceptions is, simply, stupid.
